\"\"<\/a>There\u2019s imitating a game, and then there\u2019s downright ripping off a game.\u00a0 Which do you think Heroes Battle Awakening is?\u00a0 This is pretty much just the same game as Plants vs. Zombies, with a new coat of paint.\u00a0 It now just has a cartoony medieval fantasy theme.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played Plants vs. Zombies before, you\u2019ll know what to do here.\u00a0 And if you haven\u2019t, it\u2019s a good thing that game is easy to learn as there are no instructions here.\u00a0 You move a cursor around the screen and collect coins by running over them.\u00a0 When you have enough, you can place a character like a house to get more coins (like the sunflowers).\u00a0 Or knights that shoot flaming arrows like the peashooters, or minotaurs that do melee attacks right in front of them like the potatoes.\u00a0 You pass the level when all enemies are defeated.\u00a0 But if even one monster gets to your side of the screen, you must start the mission over.<\/p>\n

Honestly, if you are in the mood for this type of game, just play Plants vs. Zombies instead.\u00a0 They just released a remaster of it that I reviewed last year<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Only way I could see getting this one is if you just want more of the same with some more challenge.\u00a0 Because in this one, if a monster makes it to your side, there is no lawn mower to push them back for one last ditch effort, so it\u2019s a lot harder.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heroes Battle Awakening is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You hit cartoony enemies with weapons and they just disappear in a puff of smoke when defeated.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may find this one too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
